Chapter 204 Market Research
These days she has deeply realized that Shen Shilang's learning ability is really amazing.
In order to calm himself down, Shen Shilang asked Su Jinshi, "Did everything go well during your one month at home?"
"My work is going relatively smoothly. The manuscript I submitted this time didn't need much revision." Su Jinshi said, "By the way, there is something I need to tell you."
Su Jinshi told the story of how he met Mo Jizong at the airport and how Mo Jizong pretended to be innocent and told Shen Shilang about it.
"When my mom asked me about you, I couldn't tell her the truth, and I couldn't say that you didn't have a job in the modern world. So I thought of a theory that you were studying antiques." Su Jinshi said, "Anyway, you know all this, so you won't be exposed if she asks you."
"That's a good idea. Maybe I can develop into studying antiques in the future." Shen Shilang said, "Then when I go back with you next month, do I have to meet your parents?"
"Well, I said you were on a business trip, but you can't be on a business trip forever." Su Jinshi nodded.
"Then I will start preparing the gift this month." Shen Shilang began to think about it, and slowly calmed down.
No one knew what excuse Shen Shilang used, but no one in the Shen family was surprised or puzzled at the fact that Su Jinshi had been away for a few days and then came back.
Shuangyun gave Su Jinshi the prices of the goods in Magnolia Pavilion that he had sorted out over the past three days.
"Yulan Pavilion also has things specially prepared for distinguished guests. Those are things that distinguished guests go to the small room on the second floor. Yulan Pavilion will prepare refreshments and show them to them separately. They are not sold at the counter on the first floor." Shuangyun said, "So I don't know how those goods specially sold to distinguished guests are sold."
"This Magnolia Pavilion is quite knowledgeable." Isn't this the same treatment as the VIPs of those big modern brands?
"It's okay. I'll send a message to Miss Li and see if she's free to take me there to see it." Li Yuxi is an old customer of Magnolia Pavilion and is familiar with the place. It would be better for her to go there alone.
After a while, Butler Jiang also came and picked two shops in Beijing, one on Zhuque Street and the other on Qinglong Street.
"These two shops are very suitable in terms of location and price. It just so happens that the owner wants to sell them instead of renting them. It would definitely be more cost-effective to buy them." Butler Jiang said, "But the shops are in great demand, and I am afraid that someone else will grab them first, so I decided to buy them all. If the young lady only needs one for the time being, the other one can be rented out."
"Whether it's Zhuque Street or Qinglong Street, they're both good locations with no trouble renting."
"Okay, Butler Jiang, are you free today? Accompany me to look at the locations, and I will decide which room to use for business, and the remaining one can be rented out for the time being." Su Jinshi said.
Even if Butler Jiang doesn't have time, he has to make some time.
So he took Su Jinshi and Shuangyun to visit the two shops.
Butler Jiang really has a good eye and his prices are fair.
Both shops are in good locations.
Su Jinshi chose the one on Zhuque Street.
That store is close to Yixiang Pavilion. When ladies go to Yixiang Pavilion to choose materials for making clothes, they might be able to visit her shop at the same time.
Although it is not far from Magnolia Pavilion and the competition is greater, there are also more opportunities to share the guests of Magnolia Pavilion.
In the following days, Su Jinshi tried on the wedding dress at the Shen Mansion and learned about the marriage process.
Li Yuxi replied to the post and readily agreed to Su Jinshi's proposal.
The two agreed to go to Magnolia Pavilion the next day.
The two met at Magnolia Pavilion and entered it together.
"Two girls!" The waiter naturally recognized them.
"What do you want to see today?" asked the waiter.
"Is there any room upstairs? Sister Su is getting married and wants to choose some rouge and powder." Li Yuxi said with a smile.
Everyone in Kyoto knew that Shen Shilang was going to get married.
"Yes, yes." The waiter hurriedly bent over and led the two upstairs.
"Please wait a moment, both of you. I will bring you the most precious treasure of our Magnolia Pavilion." After the waiter said this, he hunched over and left.
Someone brought them some refreshments.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Li Yuxi said with a smile, "I originally thought that Sister Su would only be free after you got married."
"Besides trying on the wedding dress and learning the process, there is nothing else to do." Su Jinshi said, "I am an impatient person. Once I make a decision, I want to get it done quickly."
"I originally thought that Sister Su might just be being polite, but I didn't expect that she would really come to me for help." Li Yuxi said happily.
At this time, the waiter brought the goods over.
Sure enough, it looks different.
The bottles and jars alone are even more exquisite.
The color of rouge is softer and the powder is finer.
But of course it is still not as fine as modern highly processed powder.
You can smell that the aroma of the facial cream is more advanced, but it is still a bit heavy.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Su Jinshi listened to the waiter's introduction and still bought a facial cream.
Li Yuxi also took a fancy to a rouge, but it was a bit expensive, so she gritted her teeth and bought it anyway.
Although Li Yuxi is the daughter of the Li family, her monthly salary is limited.
There are many things to buy, and not everything can be bought at such an expensive price.
The things sold in the VIP room of Magnolia Pavilion are indeed a bit expensive.
Even Su Jinshi felt a little pain.
After leaving Magnolia Pavilion, Su Jinshi took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms to thank Miss Li, "This is my newly formulated eye cream."
"Beijing is dry, and applying facial cream alone is not moisturizing enough, especially around the eyes, where facial cream is too thick." Su Jinshi said, "This is specially for applying around the eyes, Sister Li can try it."
"I'm just accompanying you on this trip, why do you accept such an expensive gift?" Li Yuxi has been using the facial cream and rouge and powder given by Su Jinshi these days.
Especially the facial cream and powder, which are much better than those from Magnolia Pavilion.
An eye cream that Su Jinshi says is useful must be very good.
It’s a small bottle, but it looks so exquisite, I’m afraid it must be difficult to blend.
"It's a good opportunity for you to try it out for me." Su Jinshi said, "I plan to sell it in the shop."
"I think your facial cream is better than the one from Magnolia Pavilion, why did you buy it?" Li Yuxi asked puzzled.
"Try it and see what the quality of the best facial cream from Magnolia Pavilion is like, so I can have an idea. Moreover, maybe it can give me some inspiration." Su Jinshi said seriously, as if he really knew how to develop it.
After she said that, Li Yuxi became even more convinced.
I reminded her to tell her when the business opens, and she would definitely visit on the opening day.
After returning to the Shen Mansion, Su Jinshi put all the skin care products and cosmetics she brought from the modern times into Daxi's bottles and jars.
The Shen Mansion is large, with few people and many vacant houses.
Su Jinshi specifically asked housekeeper Jiang for a room to use as a warehouse, and had someone make shelves to put all these things in the warehouse.
